People can’t read your face and read facial expressions and connect to you, so I think you have to give people something sincere to connect to and then have fun with tweaking everything else.
But I do think if you game the show too much nothing rings as sincere or authentic. So getting to change my vocal tone a little bit –really just emulating the singers - being a bit more Lady Gaga in tone or Patsy Cline in tone, because that’s how I taught myself to sing by imitating Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Tracy Chapman and learning to control my voice in different ways. So I tried to choose things that were a little more superficial while still offering people a sincere experience of myself. The tricky thing with the show is I think you have to really be authentic and sincere and you also have to throw people off. Were you purposely trying to throw the panel and audience off? You have such a distinctive voice - for the record, I could tell it was you right away - but it seemed like sometimes you tried to tweak it, such as on the Lady Gaga cover, as well as busting out a Southern accent when speaking to the judges. We shot it pretty quickly, it’s a really high-profile show and it let me focus on something that I’ve never been able to focus on the entire 25 years of my career: just showing my technical ability. So the Masked Singer, I know it sounds odd, but it was a great fit for me for all those reasons. I obviously needed to raise my profile if I was going to do it and promote new music and the third box is it has to be creatively fun and interesting for me. The first one has to be it can’t take too much time from my son’s life. One is because the physical nature of the job, we have to tour and be away on the road and it’s hard for a mom because kids need stability and they need to be in school… I love art, obviously, but my job and my commitment to having a child is that I’ll be a present and engaged mom, so I’ve looked for opportunities that let me check a lot of boxes. It’s not a very sexy answer, but it’s an honest answer: I am a mom and I’m a single mom, and this business is not very kind to women that become parents. How does Jewel end up on The Masked Singer in 2021? Billboard spoke to the singer before Wednesday’s finale to find out how the TV-less star ended up on the show, how advice from Bob Dylan and Neil Young helped her make such left-field choices, and what we can expect from her in 2022. There were a few other left-field guesses as well, roping in actresses Ashley Judd and Helena Bonham Carter.īut when the glitter settled, it was no surprise that the diamond in the rough was none other than Grammy winner Jewel. The lid was slammed shut on Wednesday night’s finale, where she crushed an unplugged version of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” featuring her signature yodel and a high-energy run through Katy Perry’s “Firework.” With a clearly well-honed voice inside the sparkly, winking head, the judge’s guesses mainly focused on pop icons such as Miley, Gaga, Katy, Britney and Christina, as well as Kellie Pickler and always-wrong judge Ken Jeong’s suggestion that it might be Miranda Lambert or actress Renée Zellweger. The Queen left nothing to chance, blasting out of the gate with a cover of Lady Gaga’s “ Born This Way,” followed by Edith Piaf’s “ La Vie En Rose,” then Bishop Briggs’ churning “ River,” Sia’s “ Bird Set Free,” Patsy Cline “ She’s Got You” and a titanic duet with judge Nicole Scherzinger on Aerosmith’s “ Dream On.”
